  • “Praying Angrily”
    “Praying Angrily” Psalm 69 Erica Cooper Assistant Minister August 4, 2019 The Ninth Sunday of Pentecost In 1993 I attended my very first rock concert. Or concerts, I should say. In the early 90’s Lollapalooza was a budding 4-day outdoor music festival touring the U.S. with top billing bands like Sonic Youth, the Breeders and Green Day. I was thirteen years old, still in middle school, and really had no business being there, but I had some older high school friends who invited me to go, with their mom chaperoning in the background of course. It was hot and humid that day, as is always the case in Atlanta in July. I had been chugging water all afternoon to stay hydrated, and soon needed to use the bathroom. Between bands, I took my friend Nori with me as we headed out on a thirty-minute journey across the field, weaving a bobbing through 20,000 sweaty, sunburned Gen-Xers. We made it to the bathroom finally, and were delighted that the next band had not yet gone on stage, we didn’t miss out on anything. So we headed back across the field to our area where the rest of our friends were. But, somewhere in the middle of our journey, Nori and I lost one another. I looked around but couldn’t find her, and at this same time, another band started to play, so I stopped where I was to listen. This band was unfamiliar to me, a band called Rage Against the Machine. At first I didn’t notice the group of 20- something shirtless men gathering around me.

  • Nine Inch Nails Pretty Hate Machine Free
    FREE NINE INCH NAILS PRETTY HATE MACHINE PDF Daphne Carr | 144 pages | 03 May 2011 | Bloomsbury Publishing PLC | 9780826427892 | English | London, United Kingdom Nine Inch Nails - Wikipedia The album consists of reworked tracks from the Purest Feeling demo tape, as well as songs composed after its original recording. The album, which features a heavily synth-driven electronic sound blended with industrial and rock elements, bears little resemblance to the band's subsequent work. Conversely, much like the band's later Nine Inch Nails Pretty Hate Machine, the album's lyrics contain themes of angst, betrayal, and lovesickness. The record was promoted with the singles " Down in It ", " Head Like a Hole ", and " Sin ", as well as the accompanying tour. A remastered edition was released in Although the record was successful, reaching No. Pretty Hate Machine was later certified triple-platinum by RIAAbecoming one of the first independently released albums to do so, and was included on several lists of the best releases of the s. During working nights as a handyman and engineer at the Right Track Studio in ClevelandOhioReznor used studio "down-time" to record and develop his own music. The sequencing was done on a Macintosh Plus. With the help of manager John Malm, Jr. Reznor received contract offers from many of the labels, but eventually signed with TVT Recordswho were known mainly for releasing novelty and television jingle records. Much like his recorded demo, Reznor refused to record the album with a conventional band, recording Pretty Hate Machine mostly by himself. I became completely withdrawn. I couldn't function in society very well.
